﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿About Us

The Gerstle Park neighborhood of San Rafael is bordered by the open spaces to the south and historic downtown to the North. We are named after the beautiful city park donated by the Gerstle Family which is also the setting for many of our events. Property owners and renters alike are welcomed to join the GPNA.

To serve as an educational vehicle by communicating pertinent issues to the residents and business establishments of the neighborhood.

To assist members in measuring the impact of city and county planning on our neighborhood.

To organize seasonal events that draw our neighbors together and strengthen our sense of community.

To focus on the issues and needs of our neighborhood in order to identify projects the GPNA can manage and ideas that we can promote.

To provide regular communication through a newsletter, networking events and annual meeting.
